Something like "slurotic" as in, behaving as though having slurosis.
Saying that Iran is a "pretty slurotic" country.
I think.
Did anyone else hear? just said in speech broadcast on R5Live.

could it have been sclerotic:

scle·rot·ic/skləˈrätik/
Adjective:
Of or having sclerosis.
Becoming rigid and unresponsive; losing the ability to adapt: "sclerotic management".

(from google)
